Rednek Ramen

Tucked into the mountains of Seco, KY, Rednek Ramen brings a chef-driven food trailer experience that blends Appalachian comfort food with Japanese ramen craftsmanship. Created by Jeanie O’Daniel and Justin Cooper, former owners of Jean Farris Winery & Bistro in Lexington, this concept reflects a return to their roots after decades in the restaurant world. The result is a farm-to-truck operation where smoke, salt, and storytelling meet carefully layered broths and fresh ingredients.

The menu leans into creative fusion with starters like fried pimento cheese wontons, Holler Rolls, and RC and bourbon spare ribs, each delivering a mix of Southern tradition and global influence. Signature ramen bowls carry that same energy, from the vegan “Seco” Miso with wild mushroom broth to the rich Chicken and Dumplings and the smoky Backyard BBQ with strip steak. Crowd favorites like Spam and Egg and Hot Chicken highlight playful twists, combining familiar comfort flavors with the structure of a classic noodle bowl.

Rednek Ramen stands out in Kentucky food trailer catering with a menu built for events, festivals, and private gatherings that want something unexpected yet deeply comforting. Each dish is crafted with intention, balancing bold regional identity with refined technique. Guests can finish things off with banana pudding featuring old fashioned boiled custard, closing out a meal that feels rooted, inventive, and built to be remembered.
